Chapter 244 Gastrorrhagia (Part One)

In the CEO's office of the AJ Group.

William was lost in thought as he stared at the gold-plated invitation in his hand.

"Dear Mr. William Lan, CEO of AJ Group and Vice Chairman of the Film Industry Association of A City, you are cordially invited to the 18th Golden Cup Awards Ceremony." The Golden Cup Awards was arguably the most important event for everyone involved in the entertainment industry in A City. The ceremony would feature different movies competing in different categories.

"Is 'Be Together' participating in this film festival, Virgil?" William suddenly asked, startling the man beside him.

"It is," Virgil answered, accompanied by a quick nod.

"I see." William nodded slightly as well. "That's all. You may leave now."

"Okay, boss." Virgil then walked out of William's office and gently closed the door behind him.

The festival was still a month away but William was already considering the chances of Be Together. With its impressive box office performance—more than 100 million in three days—there was no doubt that the movie would bring home something during the ceremony.

As William tapped his index finger on the table, an idea came to his mind.

Because "Be Together" was on the verge of becoming the biggest success of Mary's career, it would only be appropriate for him to "be together" with Mary as

aring this, Mary immediately sat up from the bed. With her bloodshot eyes, she asked in a panicked tone, "Where is he now?"

"I don't actually know." With a bitter smile, William handed the phone to Mary. "Selah texted you."

"Let me see." Mary took the phone from William and read the message. Soon after that, she dialed Selah's number. Her expression was both anxious and confused.

"Hello, Selah? Hmm... Which hospital? Okay... Alright."

Mary hung up the phone at once and readied herself to get out of bed.

"Are you going to the hospital now?" asked William.

"Yes." Mary nodded as she started to get dressed. "Although it's just a minor operation, I think it would be better if I go there and accompany him. I'm not in a hurry though. I'll cook some porridge for him. You may go back to sleep."

But before Mary could go, William grabbed her arm. "Are you really going to leave me behind while you go and see him yourself?"

"William, Barry is sick." Mary patted William's hand, indicating that he should let her go.

"Then I'll go with you." He quickly grabbed his clothes and put them on. "Don't stop me. It's early in the morning. You know I won't let you go out alone."

She just rolled her eyes. She looked at him and said, "Fine. But you don't have to get up now. I'll cook him porridge first before we go see him."
